By Dusti Bowling (Author) 

OVERVIEW

Just as Aven starts to feel comfortable in Stagecoach Pass, with her friends and schoolmates accustomed to her lack of “armage,” everything changes once again. She’s about to begin high school . . . with 3,000 new kids to stare at her. Every teeneage fears about high school are magnified when you don't have arms to defend yourseld with!

No matter how much Aven tries to play it cool, nothing prepares her for the reality. In a year filled with confusion, humiliation, fears, loss and just maybe love, can Aven manage to stay true to herself?

Just as in Insignificant Events in the life of a Cactus, Dusti Bowling effortlessly brings every emotion bubbling up, and will have readers rotting for Aven and her motley crew of family and friends. 

Review: A very funny and inspiring book. I read it out loud to my kids and we found it very engaging. It opens up the challenges and struggles, anyone can encounter, into a whole new world. We have never read something like this. It is truly original. As a parent, I find this book very uplifting and very humorous. It was a great way to teach, learn, laugh and self-love. This book is for all ages. 

I highly recommend it as a family read. If your kids are under 8 I do recommend reading it as a family.
